Marucci Cat 8 Youth USSSA Baseball Bat -10oz MSBC810

The design of the all new Minus 10 ounce 2019 Marucci Cat 8 USSSA baseball bat was refined for two years before being released to the public. Stronger alloy, Faster swinging, more Forgiving. The USSSA Cat 8 -10 is built for the elite travel ball player that can't afford to compromise. The minus 10 ounce (this model) is the most popular version. Metal matters: The AZ105 alloy is Marucci's strongest aluminum, giving you thinner walls, more response from the barrel, and greater durability. AV2 Anti Vibration Knob: Next generation sting stopping technology means you can swing easy all day during batting practice, and confidently in games knowing your hands will be vibration free. Variable Wall Construction: Marucci uses specialized tooling to reduce wall thickness inside the barrel where possible, to expand the sweet spot farther up and down the bat. No Rings In Barrel: Most bat makers are still using 10-15 year old bat technology, they just put rings inside the barrel to pass the latest tests... Not Marucci! Rings make dead spots in the bat, and Marucci will not stand for anything less than the best! Precision Balanced: Barrel is perfectly balanced for lower M.O.I for a balanced feel and ultimate bat control. One Piece: Single, solid piece of aluminum alloy is used to give you a reliable, traditional feel on contact. Inspired and Designed with MLB input: Micro perforated grip is soft and plush, with tack for stick and comfort. Removable taper and ergonomically correct shape provide added control and comfort in both hands.

Pros: I was having a hard time finding good reviews on the Cat 8 usssa bat so i figured i'd do one to help you guys out. It's good. Line drives. Home runs. Sharply hit balls. And no complaints of vibration. My son is hitting the ball harder than I have ever seen him hit. He is 9 and using the 29/19 size/weight. The bat came quickly and I'm super thankful to the Cheap Bats staff for helping me make the purchase and suggesting this bat.

Pros: My son is 9 years old and I got the 29/19 Cat 8 for him after he got too big for the Cat 7 28/18 he had. The Cat 8 is a larger barrel and sweet spot. It is huge. Most of the kids we see are swinging Marucci now. Like, probably 7 of 10 kids swing a Cat 7 or Cat 8 or F5 Marucci. Excellent bat and perfect durability so far. We have heard of the Zen having chipping problems

Pros: Our boys are hitting the ball farther than ever with the cat 8 we bought them. For the younger ages like 8, 9, and even 10 years old I think metal is better. They all use the Cat 8 over our CF Zen.

Pros: My son plays 11U select, needed a bat to replace his Easton so we bought the 30oz -10; first tournament he used it he went 4 for 5 with 5 RBIs. He really likes it! (and so do several of his teammates which are now using it :)

Cons: He says the bat has a bit of a vibration sting. (which is odd since it's advertised as no stingers)

Pros: My son absolutely loves this bat. Honest to God, hit a HR over the fence 210ft first time hitting in a game with this bat. Only problem now is he is trying to hit HR every at bat. This bat is expensive, but worth it to see him so confident at the plate.
